Hopeful Outlook.
Washington, D. C, July 28. The
President speaks hopefully of his con
dition. The discharge of pus during
the night was satisfactory. His tem
perature this morning is apparently
about normal. The carpet in nis cham
ber is taken up. the floor will be care
fully dusted and a fire kindled in the
grate for the purpose of securing thor-
uugii veuMiauoM. iiu; iresiueni will
not bo taken back to his chamber for
several hours. For the purpose of ob
viating sounds of footsteps on the floor
strips oi carpet will be placea in the
most frequented parts of the room. It
is considered that this arrangement will
render the chamber much more re
freshing to the patient and that it hence
forth wul be decidedly more comforta
ble. Had it been practicable the sur
geons say they would have ordered the
change before. The attending sur
geons say the President has not looked
so wen since ne was wounaea as tins
morning, and he is delighted with the
change which is being made in his
room.
Executive Mansion, Washington, Ju
ly 28. Colonel Rockwell says the Pres
ident is decidedly better this morning
than at any time since he was wounded;
that at the morning dressing there was
a free and healthy discharge of pus from
the wound and a portion of the original
wound above the incision was observed
to have commenced healing. The sur
geons, after a consultation of suject
this morning concluded that removal of
the heavy carpet which now covers the
floor of the President's chamber would
be beneficial, and considering the
brightness of the morning with perfect
ly fresh and dry atmospTiere together
with the favorable condition of the
President it was decided to make the
change at once. The surgeons main
tain that the carpet absorbs the impuri
ties of the atmosphere which invariably
exist to more or less extent in a sick
room and it is a receptacle for the se
cretion of dust etc. The President's
bed was carefully removed from his
own room to a room across the hall
where he is now resting quietly.

they are at all lacking in generous feel

FRENCH AFFAIRS IN AFRICA.
London, July 28. A Paris corres
pondent of the Times says the true rea
son for hastening the date of the elec
tion is that General Moussier the French
commander in Africa sent a confiden
tial report to Paris that a serious insur
rection might be. expected to break out
in September and a great effort would
then have to do made and
a formidable army sent to Africa.
Perhaps the mobilization of the army
would even be necessary, in short it
would even be needful to take rapid and
decisive steps which might cause uneas
iness among the electors. This made
the government alter the date of the
elections, as, if in September the coun
try is confronted with a series of war
campaigns the elections might be seri
ously compromised and a formidable
argument afforded to the opposition.

Kalakaua Doesn't Want to Nell.
New York. July 28. The Times has
a communication from Elisha H. Allen,
the Hawaian minister at Washington,
which says the statement that King
Kalakaua wants to sell his kingdom is
literally without foundation. His tour
is . from liberal curiosity and for en
lightenment and the purpose of making
nimseii laminar wiui tne government,
institutions and people of other coun
tries. The King is accompanied by a
commissioner of emigration who had
hopes that he could induce emigration
irom lntlia or some other country that
would strengthen ana increase the
Hawaian race. His travels are for pa
triotic purposes ana win undoubtedly
be of great value to his own people and
the idea of the sale of the kingdom is as
abhorent to the King as the same act
would be to any sovereign in Europe.

Soma Facta and Gowalp About Mr.
Btrons'e Keeent Elevation.
A fact connected with the elevation
of Mr. Strong to the Presidency of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, not hith
erto made public, has just transpired.
The Times can vouch for its accuracy.
Mr. Strong was tendered a position in
the management of the new Ontario &
Western railroad, now rapidly taking
shape as a trunk line. The double title
which the company was ready to con
fer upon him was that of Vice-President
and General Manager. The salary
was to be an advance upon the stipend
allowed him by the Atchison.Topeka &
Santa Fe company. Mr. Strong was
considering this proposal when Presi
dent Coolidge demanded of the board
that some action be taken at once which
would relieve him of the duties of the
executive office. At about the same
time it reached the ears of the directo
ry and the principal stockholders that a
tempting offer to go with nother com
pany was awaiting Mr. Strong's ac
ceptance or rejection. They said: "We
will settle this matter of position and
salary at once. We will elect Mr.
Strong President and double his sal
ary." This was immediately done.
The mention of George Nettleton's
name in connection with the position of
Genearal Manager of the Atchison road
was brought about in this way: Presi
dent Coofidge was constantly demand
ing to be relieved. Mr. Strong prefer
red to remain in Topeka, in active
charge of the road, except in the event
of his election to the Presidency, which,
it seems, he did not expect or ask for.
He could not remain in Topeka and re
lieve the President of any considerable
part of his official duties. It was there
fore proposed by some of the directors
that Mr. Nettleton should be invited to
take a position as assistant to President
Coolidge, and to reside in Boston; but
the determination to elect Mr. Strong

The I'tea.
From a letter received by Mr. Bul
lock, of this city, from his brother,
Charley Bullock, bearing date of the
20th inst, and written at Rico, it will
be seen that there is something more
than talk in the rumors of Indian
troubles over there. The News is per
mitted to publish the following ex
tract:
"The camp is some livelier
than it has been, but the Indian racket
and the stage robbery have knocked
-I out of it for this summer. I hoped
to get out of the mines this summer for
good, but think now I am elected for
some more oi it. Dave Willis was in
the first day's fight of Little Castle Val
ley with the Utes, along with nine oth
ers. Three were wounded out of a
squad of nineteen of us. The Utes ac
knowledge having lost fifteen killed,
seven mortally wounded, besides others
disabled, and they were not few. It
was the hottest afternoon that I have
seen for many a day. . The thermome
ter marked 110 degrees in the shade,
and there wasn't any shade, but there
was about two hundred and fifty pounds
of lead to the minute for eight hours,
twenty hours without water and thirty
without a mouthful to cat. It was cal
culated to remind one of the days of his
infancy, and we are sure to have more
of it before summer is over, for they
have been murdering and stealing long
enough, beside they hold some of the
best mineral and decidedly the best
farming and stock country we have
Rico commenced the fight, and if the
eovernment can't remove the Utes it
had better take the troops wrhere it
won't cost so much to keep them, and
the poor things won t have such a
hard time, and the miners will soon
locate the Utes on a reservation where
they will not only stay, but will be at
peace with the world, and the devu
may take chances with them in the
next. If they are not removed this
summer the miners will commence a
war of extermination this fall and win

Billy "the Kid."
The Chicago Tribune shows a delicate
appreciation of affairs on the frontier
hardly to be expected of a newspaper
published so far east. Speaking of the
killing of Billy "the Kid," it says:
The inhabitants of New Mexico do
not stand upon technicalities of the law
in dealing with desperadoes. A certain

and better known as Billy "the Kid," a
promising young man of twenty-one.
whose proud boast it was that lie had
killed a man for every year of his life,
has lately been pursued and shot dead
on sight, by a sheriff near Las Vegas
The coroner's jury which sat on the
body thus energetically furnished for
its use. rendered a verdict of justifiable
homicide and passed a vote of thanks
to the sheriff for ridding the community
of this remarkable young man, who
seems to have made himself a terror to
the region. Furthermore, the sheriff
will receive a handsome reward from
the Territory, and be the recipient of a
popular subscription. In all of which
there is more of justice, rude as it is,
than in many of the decisions of the
courts, aided as they are by all of the
machinery of civilization."

" The Climate ofXew Mexico.
I think there is no climate in the
world that is so beneficial to those who
have weak lungs as New Mexico. I
have been in Switzerland and. most
places recommended for lung complaint
and I unhesitatingly commend New
Mexico. The changes are, of course
sudden and great, but one must be pre
pared. The air is dry and pure. I
saw many people who had succeeded
in warding of the disease, who, had they
remained in the States would have been
coffined long ago, and was assured by
the physicians that bronchitis was un
known. The statistics bear me out in
this, too, for the fact is that the lowest
death rate from tubercular disease in
America is in this Territory. In New
England the rate - is given as 2.T per
cent. ; in the Northwestern States, from
12 to 14; in the Southern, from 5 to 0.
while in New Mexico it is but 3 per
cent. Hence I have no hesltency in
saying that for persons with the con
sumption their fives will probably be
prolonged in New Mexico, while those
slightly affected here will probably nev
er die of lung complaints. Cincinnati

The Mormon high priests are urging
the Saints to sell no more real estate to
Gentiles. The Salt Lake Tribune tak
ing the injunction as a text,-preaches
an excellent sermon to all sensible Mor-'
mons, if such there be. It says: '"Your
best patrons are the Gentiles. You
were nearly starving, were abjectly
poor, and your property was almost
worthless when the Gentiles came. The
Gentiles are the only ones who have
created wealth here; the only ones who
have furnished you a market for your
Eroducts. When a Gentile buys a lot
e not only pays for it, but he builds
upon it; your artisans are given work,
your merchants are patronized for ma
terial and furniture. Your leaders
would stop all this, if possible, reduce
you to the extremes under which you
fjroaned when the gentiles first came
íere. Buy and sell your lots as you
please, and if any man in the name of
the Lord interferes tell him you have
an inspiration of your own, and that
you expect every moment a revelation
to kick him off your premises. Try it;
it will not be bad for your soul; it will
be splendid for your pocket and your
manhood."
The Pinnacle ot MesnnsxH.
It was supposed that the farmer who
sued for trespass the boy who saved
him from drowning, had attained the
topmost pinnacle ot meanness, but ho

who offered to reward the poor but
honest young man who had returned a
lost purse containing $400 by shaking
with him lor arinks. ine poor but
honest young man lost, once more prov

is the best policy; for if he had spent all
his money for the drinks he would have -purchased

Progress ol' the Texas A Paeilie.
The track of the Texas & Pacific rail
oad will tally, the latter part of this
month, its four hundredth mile from
Dallas. The latest intelligence from the
end of the track is that there are good
health and fresh air at an elevation of
3,200 feet above the sea, between the
waters of the south fork of the Colo
rado and the Pecos rivers. The scene
draws its picturesquesness from Colti
Rock cut, a gigantic gap of 5,000 feet in
width, and in places as deep as 17 feet.
The Pecos river will be reached by
Sept. 1, and the Guadaloupe moun
tains, which lie 60 miles further west,
will be crossed, it is thought, early in
October, instead of December, as re
ported a month or so back.
The advance guard of civilization in
the new Texas, just being reclaimed
from solitude anu savageism, compri
ses, in addition to the track force is SCO

a squad oi mounted lexas rangers, to

tive spirits of the "cowboys" who flock
to the new towns in pursuit ot pleasure:
and a company of the 10th United
States cavalry (colored,) charged with
the duty of protecting the track-layers
from inteference by the Indians. Camp
life with this crowd is full of weird in
terest, through which there runs an ed
dying current of excitement, rising at
times to a height peculiarly and posi
tively thrilling.
1 rack-laying since July i has av
eraged two miles a day, and after
August 1 the track will be laid at the
rate of three miles a day. At this rate,
the weather permitting. El Paso cer
tainly will be reached before Christmas.
The track force of 350 men, with sixty
teams and four construction trains, and
the daily consumption of twenty-four
cars of iron, seventy-five cars of ties,
and twelve cars of water, are the figures
that tell of as rapid railroad build
ing, probably, as was ever accomplished
in this country, not accepting that done
by the Chinese on the Southern Pacific.
The wages of the iron men and spike
gang have been raised to $2.50 per day,
the highest ever paid to laborers on any
railroad in this or -any other Mate.
